Digital start trigger and high speed camera

[Helen19411]

Is there any particular option or way available in LabVIEW to initiate the data acquisition and high speed camera using a digital start trigger? If yes, shall I create a task for high speed camera and then synchronize it with the other tasks?

Kind Regards,

Hi Helen19411,

The way to trigger data acquisition in LabVIEW is to use the 'DAQmx Start Trigger VI'. To set this up I recommend taking a look at this example:

Without any information about the high speed camera you are using, I can't give much advice. If the device is viewable in MAX then you may be able to create a task, and so long as you synchronise both channels in your code, the digital trigger should activate both events.
